In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this yummy activity about soil (page 9 of PDF), learners will create layers of soil using food. They will learn about the composition and role of each layer.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

In this quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity), learners will observe how dry breakfast cereal appears to dance when it gets close to a balloon charged with static

Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.

This activity features two connected hands-on activities about dinosaur bones.

In this activity, learners make edible T. rex teeth (with adult assistance). The treat is a white and dark chocolate covered banana on a stick.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making an edible treat. First, learners read "Dinosaur Bones" by Aliki to examine how fossils are formed.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.
